I have always signed anything put in front of me. I know I am suppose to make sure my deliveries are safe, out of sight and out of weather, and I do.
But recently I got a bunch of crap from a sup, about not getting a sig, or an ID from a guy who with his buddies blocked me in and wanted the pkg. I was not going to leave it, as the house was vacant. It became apparent to me quickly that it was not "just a pkg". AS I walked back to my truck and saw my visitors.
When I relayed the incident, I was told " You get paid good money to verify ID, YOU SIGNED A PAPER SAYING YOU WOULD ASK FOR ID IF NECESSARY, YOU SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST GOT A SIGNATURE, YOU COULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF THERE IS A CLAIM" Here I was afraid I was going to be a statistic, as I had a car in back of me and a car in front of me backed up to my bumper, and this guy is telling me I should have been a martyr, dying for a cause of delivering a pkg.
So as I was talking to a few people on here about it to see what they would have done, and they agreed I did the right thing. And it was about three days later when my center manager called me in the office, and told me I did the right thing. You give them your keys, your truck, whatever they want. When your life is in danger you dont question them. I was relieved that he told me I was correct to give it up, and see another day. So since then I dont think I will sign it. If I didnt have the decent human being who is my center manager now, I feel this sup may have tried to get me on incorrect DR methods, and go after my job. When he should have been worried more about me, than the package. I was not impressed, and since have been quite disillusioned.
